TALK VIỆT NAM, DINING WITH OBAMA

ANTHONY BOURDAIN & ANDERSON

For Vietnamese people, Anthony Bourdain is best known as the one who ate “bún chả” (noodle with fried pork) with US President Barack Obama in Hà Nội. However, for those who love international cuisine, Anthony Bourdain is not an unfamiliar name and his affinity for Vietnamese cuisine has existed a long time. Besides “bún chả” , eaten by US President Barack Obama during his recent visit, bia hơi (draught beer) and bún ốc (noodle with snails), two famous dishes of Hà Nội, appeared in CNN’s culinary discovery program featuring Bourdain called “Bourdain: Part Unknown” in September 2017.
